The MorphOS Team has announced the immediate availability of MorphOS 3.0. The release brings, among many other things, PowerBook support for 1.67GHz models, the CD / DVD authoring application Jalapeno, the FTP / SFTP client Transfer, an updated Odyssey Web Browser, new Reggae classes, the Reggae based music player Jukebox, and many other improvements. The update is free for the owners of MorphOS 2.x keyfiles. Moreover, older machines can now be registered at reduced prices.

I'm a user of niche OSs myself, but I always found a bit hard to understand the MorphOS appeal. It only runs a few PPC machines (iBook Gentoo Linux PPC user here), and is quite expensive. The userbase, I presume, is pretty small, but probably faithful.

If you're a MorphOS user: what makes you use it and what do you use it for?

it's very fast and responsive, does what I need from a computer, [...] adjust it to suit my preferences.
[...] what else do you want from an OS anyway?

You know what's the best part? Your MorphOS machine can't really handle the yt video you linked to, certainly not with full features/controls and in full quality.
